"You are located near buildings used by Hezbollah, and for your own safety you must evacuate them immediately," the Arabic-language spokesperson for the Israeli military said on Saturday afternoon. Then something rather unusual happened. The Lebanese army requested that, instead of an Israeli air strike, it should be allowed to inspect the premises for weapons itself. In what Israeli media would later describe as a "rare" and "unprecedented" event, the Israelis agreed and called the air strike on Yanouh off.
